It is also possible to provide a sensor 310 installed on a signboard indicating the above.

  The server 100 is installed in a room different from a toilet such as a building management room, receives data including information from the sensor 300 via the tablet terminal 200, and has storage means such as a database for storing the received data. . The server 100 and the tablet terminal 200 include general computer hardware resources such as a processor, a memory, a hard disk, and a network interface. In this embodiment, the terminal installed in the toilet is the tablet terminal 200. However, any terminal can be used as long as it can transmit data including information from the sensor 300 to the server 100 via a communication network such as the Internet. But you can.

  The tablet terminal 200 displays the vacant or full rooms of each private room in the toilet to notify the user of the toilet (hereinafter referred to as “toilet user”) of the toilet in order to notify the user of the toilet. In addition to the vicinity of the entrance, it can be installed at a position suitable for notifying the toilet user, such as in the toilet near the washstand, in the vicinity of the passage on the way to the toilet, or in the wall around the toilet.

  The server 100 executes server-side processing relating to toilet room management based on a program executed by the processor of the server (hereinafter referred to as “server program”), and the tablet terminal 200 is executed by the processor of the tablet terminal. On the basis of a program to be executed (hereinafter referred to as “tablet program”), processing on the tablet terminal side relating to toilet private room management can be executed. As described above, the server 100 and the tablet terminal 200 in the toilet private room management system function to fulfill their respective roles. However, as another embodiment, all processes of the toilet private room management system are executed by the tablet terminal 200. It is also possible to do. For example, in the tablet terminal 200, the toilet private room management system can be realized by using only the tablet terminal 200 by executing the toilet private room management system program in a stand-alone manner without using a communication network such as the Internet.

  The administrator terminal 210 receives a notification that the entire toilet or the private room in the toilet needs to be cleaned from the server 100, displays the notification on the monitor provided in the administrator terminal 210, and manages the building, etc. Can let you know. In addition, the administrator terminal 210 can transmit a toilet cleaning request to the cleaning company terminal 220 by an operation of the administrator or the like. Furthermore, the administrator terminal 210 receives a notification from the server 100 regarding a malfunction such as long-term use or non-use of a private room in the toilet, displays the notification on the monitor of the administrator terminal 210, and manages the building. The failure can be notified to the person etc. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the administrator terminal 210 receives a notification from the server 100 regarding the necessity of cleaning and a malfunction in the private room, but other terminals such as the cleaning company terminal 220 and the user terminal 230 You may receive it.

  The cleaning contractor terminal 220 can receive a cleaning request from the manager terminal 210, display the contents of the cleaning request on a monitor provided in the cleaning contractor terminal 220, and notify the cleaning contractor of the cleaning request. When the cleaning of the toilet is completed, the cleaning contractor terminal 220 can transmit a cleaning completion notification to the server 100 by the operation of the cleaning contractor. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the cleaning completion notification is transmitted only to the server 100, but may be transmitted to other terminals such as the administrator terminal 210.

  The user terminal 230 transmits a request regarding the use status of the toilet to the server 100 via the communication network using application software such as a Web browser, acquires information on the use status of the toilet from the server 100, and uses the use terminal The situation can be displayed on a monitor provided in the user terminal 230. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 230 receives information on the use status of the toilet from the server 100, but other terminals such as the tablet terminal 200 and the administrator terminal 210 may receive the information. .

  The sensor 300 (sensors 300a, 300b, 300c, and 300d installed in the doors of the individual rooms of the toilet) opens and closes the doors of the individual rooms on the tablet terminal 200 using a short-range wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Data related to can be sent periodically. Similarly, the sensor 310 can also periodically transmit data (beacon data) to the tablet terminal 200 using near field communication technology such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, four sensors 300a, 300b, 300c, and 300d are used, but it goes without saying that the number of sensors can be changed according to the number of private rooms in the toilet, and is limited to four. Is not to be done.

  The sensor 300 (sensors 300a, 300b, 300c, and 300d) installed on the doors of the respective private rooms of the toilet has different sensor installation methods and door opening / closing detection methods depending on the form of the toilet private room door. When the door is open when the private room is not used and the door is closed during use, only the geomagnetic sensor can be used as the sensor 300. By installing at the installation position of the door of each private room (for example, the upper end portion of the door), the displacement of coordinate data of two axes (other than the vertical direction) out of the three axes of the X, Y and Z axes of the geomagnetic sensor The opening and closing of the door can be detected. In addition, since the opening and closing of the door determines the displacement of the two axes of the geomagnetic sensor, the installation direction of the geomagnetic sensor (which of the three axes is installed in the horizontal and vertical directions) can be arbitrarily determined. it can.

  In addition, a magnet can be used in addition to the geomagnetic sensor when the door is open when the private room is not used and the door is closed during use. When a geomagnetic sensor is used as the sensor 300 installed in the door of the private room, a magnet is placed on the wall around the geomagnetic sensor so as to be close to the geomagnetic sensor, so that the magnetic displacement at the time of opening and closing the door can be reduced. By detecting with a geomagnetic sensor, the opening and closing of the door can be detected.

  In the case of a door that is closed both when the private room is used and when it is not used, a geomagnetic sensor and a magnet can be used as the sensor 300. For example, in a slide type key comprising a slide bar and a lock part that receives the tip of the slide bar and locks the door, a geomagnetic sensor is installed on the slide bar and a magnet is installed on the lock part. By detecting the strength of the geomagnetism according to the change in the gap between the magnet and the geomagnetic sensor generated when the slide bar moves in the horizontal direction, it is possible to detect the opening / closing of the door of the private room (ie, opening / closing of the sliding key). it can.

  In the case of a door that is closed when the private room is in use or not in use, a human sensor that detects whether there is a person in the private room of the toilet using infrared rays, ultrasonic waves, visible light, or the like is used as the sensor 300. can do. The human sensor can be installed at a position (for example, the ceiling) where a person in the private room of the toilet can be detected by infrared rays or the like. The human sensor can monitor the usage status of the private room by detecting a person in the private room of the toilet regardless of whether the door of the private room is opened or closed.

  In addition, the tablet terminal 200 can receive, from the server 100, information regarding the usage status of each private room of the toilet in order to display the usage status of the toilet in which the terminal is installed on the monitor. Furthermore, the tablet terminal 200 displays the usage status of other toilets on the floor where the terminal is installed and the usage status of toilets above and below the floor where the terminal is installed on the monitor. The information regarding the usage status of the private room can be received from the server 100. When receiving the beacon data from the sensor 310 installed on the standing signboard for notifying the toilet user that the toilet is being cleaned, the tablet terminal 200 performs cleaning in addition to the opening / closing data of each individual room. A notification to the effect that the cleaning is in progress can be transmitted to the server 100, and the use status of each private room in the toilet can be displayed on the monitor to indicate that cleaning is in progress.

  When the administrator terminal 210 determines that it is necessary to clean the server 100 based on information such as the cumulative usage time and the cumulative number of times of use of each private room of the toilet, a notification transmitted from the server 100 (entire toilet or Notification of the need to clean the private room in the toilet). After receiving such a notification, the administrator terminal 210 can send a cleaning request notification to the cleaning company terminal 220. In addition, the administrator terminal 210 can receive a notification from the server 100 informing about a malfunction in the private room such as a long-time use or non-use of the private room of the toilet. Furthermore, the administrator terminal 210 can transmit a response such as a request for cleaning or a response to a problem to the server 100.

  When the cleaning of the toilet is actually completed, the cleaning contractor can transmit a cleaning completion notification from the cleaning contractor terminal 220 to the server 100. In the server 100, the notification of completion of cleaning from the cleaner terminal 220 can be received, and the accumulated use time and the accumulated use count of each private room of the toilet stored in the database can be returned to the initial values.

  In addition to being able to grasp the toilet usage status from the display on the tablet terminal 200, the toilet user can also display the toilet usage status on the user terminal 230 of the user's mobile phone, smartphone, PC, etc. You can also The user terminal 230 transmits a request for acquiring the use status of the toilet to the server 100 in response to a user operation in application software such as a web browser installed on the terminal. Information about the usage status of the private room can be received. Similarly to the tablet terminal 200, the user terminal 230 displays on the monitor the use status of another toilet on the floor where the user is located, and the toilets on the floor above and below the floor where the user is located. Information relating to the usage status of the private rooms of those toilets can be received from the server 100.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a use status display screen of a private room of a toilet displayed on a monitor provided in the tablet terminal 200 installed in the toilet. The tablet terminal 200 is installed at a position suitable for notifying the toilet user of the use status of the toilet, such as in the toilet near the entrance of the toilet, near the washstand, and in the vicinity of the passage on the way to the toilet. can do. Note that a plurality of tablet terminals 200 can be installed for one toilet. If a plurality of tablet terminals 200 are installed, one tablet terminal 200 among the plurality of terminals is connected to the sensor data from the sensor 300 and the sensor 310. The beacon data may be transmitted to the server 100.

  On the display screen 201 of the monitor of the tablet terminal 200, the usage status of each private room of the toilet on each floor is displayed. The use situation of each private room of the toilet on each floor is displayed on the toilet display 202, 203, 204 for each floor. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the usage status of each private room of the 11th floor toilet, which is the installation floor (own floor) of the tablet terminal 200, is displayed on the toilet display 203, and the upper and lower floors (upper and lower floors) of the installation floor of the tablet terminal 200 are displayed. ) Are used in the toilet displays 202 and 204, respectively.

  The tablet terminal 200 displays each private room of the toilet in a rectangular figure, and displays a message indicating whether or not the private room is used, such as “vacant” or “in use”, overlaid on each rectangular figure. The toilet user can be notified of the usage status of each private room. Further, the display of “in use” can be changed during the usage time of the private room of the toilet. For example, it is possible to change the color of a rectangular figure representing a private room when the usage time of the private room has passed half of the upper limit (threshold value) of the preset usage time and when it is less than that.

  FIG. 3 shows messages “in use”, “vacant”, “in use”, and “in use” on rectangular private room displays 202a, 202b, 202c, and 202d corresponding to four private rooms on the 12th floor. An example is shown. It is displayed in the same manner for the 11th floor, 10 times private room. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the display screen 201 of the tablet terminal 200 installed on the 11th floor displays the usage status of the 11th-floor toilets on the own floor, and the 12th and 10th-floor toilets on the upper and lower floors. Usage status is displayed.

  In addition, a message “in use” is displayed, and the color of the rectangular figure is darker than other displays (in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the number of points in the figure is larger than other displays). ) The displayed private room displays 202a and 202d indicate that the use time of the private room corresponding to the display has passed half of the upper limit (threshold value) of the preset use time. On the other hand, a message “in use” is displayed, and the color of the rectangular figure is lighter than the individual room displays 202a and 202d (in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the number of points in the figure is displayed in the individual room displays 202a and 202d). The private room display 202c that is displayed (less compared) indicates that the usage time of the private room corresponding to the display is less than or equal to half the upper limit value (threshold value) of the preset usage time. The usage time display method is not limited to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, and the usage time of each private room of the toilet may be simply displayed. Display).

  For example, a toilet user on the 11th floor sees the display screen 201 on the monitor of the tablet terminal 200, and while using the 11th floor, grasps the usage status of the private rooms of the toilets on the upper and lower floors as well as the toilets on the upper floor. In addition, the usage time of each private room in use can be grasped by the change in the rectangular figure corresponding to each private room (in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the color density (the number of dots)). Thereby, the toilet user can go to the private room of the toilet which is not easily used. In addition, the toilet user can easily determine a private room that will soon become a vacant room from the usage time of each private room, and can go to a private room that is likely to become a vacant room.

  In other words, the tablet terminal 200 can guide the toilet user to a vacant room or a private room of a toilet that can become a vacant room depending on the display content of the display screen 201, and effectively reduces the waiting time of the toilet user. be able to.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a message 205 notifying that cleaning is in progress is displayed on the toilet display 204 on the 10th floor. When the tablet terminal 200 installed in the toilet on the 10th floor receives beacon data from the sensor 310 installed on the signboard placed near the entrance of the toilet or the like during cleaning, the tablet terminal 200 on the 10th floor A notification indicating that the cleaning is in progress can be transmitted to the server 100, and a message 205 notifying that cleaning is being performed can be displayed on the toilet display 204 on the 10th floor. Similarly, the tablet terminals 200 installed on other floors such as the 11th floor and the 12th floor receive a notification from the server 100 that the 10th floor toilet is being cleaned, and the 10th floor toilet is A message informing that cleaning is in progress can be displayed.

  By viewing the display screen 201 on the monitor of the tablet terminal 200, the toilet user can grasp the toilet being cleaned and can go to another toilet that is not being cleaned.

  FIG. 4 shows the flow of sensor data transmission processing executed by the sensors 300a, 300b, 300c and 300d (hereinafter simply referred to as the sensor 300) installed on the doors of the private rooms of the toilet as shown in FIG. Show. The sensor 300 repeatedly executes the sensor data transmission process shown in FIG. The sensor 300 transmits sensor data including information on the sensor ID, geomagnetism, acceleration, atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity to the tablet terminal 200 (step S400). After the transmission, the process ends after waiting for a certain time (for example, several seconds) (step S402). The sensor 300 can transmit sensor data to the tablet terminal 200 periodically (at intervals of several seconds) by repeatedly executing the sensor data transmission process as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 shows the flow of the open / close data transmission process performed by the tablet terminal 200 installed near the entrance of the toilet on each floor or near the washstand as shown in FIG. The tablet terminal 200 can repeatedly execute the open / close data transmission process shown in FIG. 5 by executing the tablet program with the CPU provided in the terminal. The tablet terminal 200 receives the sensor data from the sensor 300 (step S500), and detects the displacement of the door of the private room of the toilet based on information related to geomagnetism and acceleration included in the sensor data (step S502).

  The opening / closing of the door can be detected based on the above-described detection method. For example, it is possible to try to detect the opening / closing of a door based on the displacement of coordinate data of two axes (other than the vertical direction) of the three axes X, Y, and Z of the geomagnetic sensor. If a change from the open state to the closed state is detected (Yes in step S504), the value of the flag indicating the door open / close state is set to “closed” (step S506), and otherwise (step S504). If the door is closed or opened (YES in step S510), the flag value is set to “open” (step S512). If an attempt is made to detect the displacement of the door in step S502, but the displacement of the door is not detected (in any of the above cases) (No in step S510), the value of the flag is not changed. Note that the initial value of the flag is “open”.

  Finally, the tablet terminal 200 transmits the tablet ID, the floor ID for identifying the installation floor on which the terminal is installed, the sensor ID of the sensor 300 that is the transmission source of the sensor data, and the opening / closing data including the flag to the server 100 (step) S508).

  Although not shown in FIG. 5, the server 100 can receive the opening / closing data transmitted from the tablet terminal 200 and store the received opening / closing data in a database by executing a server program on the CPU. it can.

  FIG. 6 shows the flow of usage status display processing executed by the server 100 installed in a room different from the toilet. The server 100 can repeatedly execute the usage status display process shown in FIG. 6 by executing the server program with the CPU provided in the server. The server 100 stores in advance a sensor ID of a toilet and a sensor installed in each private room in the toilet as management information in a database, and a tablet program executed on the tablet terminal 200 is transmitted via the Internet using HTTP. Thus, the server program executed on the server 100 is periodically accessed.

  The server 100 receives a display request for the usage status of the private room of the toilet from the tablet terminal 200 (step S600), and uses the identification information (tablet ID or the like) included in the HTTP header or the like for the tablet terminal 200 for which the display request has been made. (Step S602). The server 100 searches the database based on the identified identification information of the tablet terminal 200, acquires opening / closing data representing the use status of each private room in the toilet in which the tablet terminal 200 is installed (step S604), or The open / close data of each private room of other toilets (for example, toilets on the upper and lower floors) for which simultaneous display is permitted is acquired from the database (step S606).

  Here, together with the usage status of each private room of the toilet in which the tablet terminal 200 requested to be displayed is installed, the usage status of each private room to be displayed at the same time is determined based on the settings registered in the database in advance. Is done. For example, toilets that permit simultaneous display (for example, toilets on the upper and lower floors) can be determined by registering information such as tablet IDs and floor IDs included in the opening / closing data in the database.

  The server 100 checks the value of the open / close data flag of each private room for each toilet. If the flag value is “closed”, it is determined to be in use, and if the flag value is “open”, it is determined to be unused. Then, display information indicating the usage status of each private room is generated for each toilet (step S608), and the display information indicating the usage status of each private room is transmitted to the tablet terminal 200 (step S610). The tablet terminal 200 can receive the display information from the server 100 and display the usage status display screen of each private room of the toilet as shown in FIG.

  The usage status display process as shown in FIG. 6 is similarly applied to a display request from a user terminal 230 such as a PC or a smartphone as shown in FIG. 1 in addition to the tablet terminal 200 installed in the toilet. can do. For example, the user terminal 230 can access the server program being executed on the server 100 via the Internet by accessing the URL using a Web browser. Depending on the use of information on the toilet, access control can be performed by login or the like as necessary, and display of the usage status of each individual room can be restricted for each toilet. Upon receiving the display request from the user terminal 230, the server 100 performs the same processing as the processing shown in FIG. 6, and transmits display information indicating the usage status of each private room to the user terminal 230 for each toilet. The terminal 230 can display a usage status display screen of each private room as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 7 shows the flow of the during-cleaning display process executed by the tablet terminal 200 installed in the toilet, as shown in FIG. The tablet terminal 200 can repeatedly execute the display process during cleaning shown in FIG. 7 by executing the tablet program with the CPU provided in the terminal. As shown in FIG. 1, the tablet terminal 200 can receive data (beacon data) from a sensor 310 installed on a signboard indicating that cleaning is in progress. That is, the tablet terminal 200 periodically attempts to receive beacon data transmitted from the sensor 310 (step S700). When a signboard with the sensor 310 is placed near the entrance of the toilet or the like during toilet cleaning, the tablet terminal 200 can receive beacon data from the sensor 310 present nearby. In addition to the signboard, the sensor 310 may be carried by a cleaning person who performs cleaning.

  When the tablet terminal 200 receives beacon data from the sensor 310 (Yes in step S702), the cleaning sensor is identified from the sensor ID included in the beacon data (step S704), and the distance to the cleaning sensor is determined by the electromagnetic wave intensity. Is calculated (step S706), and if the distance to the cleaning sensor is within the preset distance range (Yes in step S708), the server 100 is notified that the current state of the toilet is being cleaned. In step S710, the tablet terminal 200 displays on the screen that cleaning is in progress (step S712). For example, a message similar to the message 205 informing that cleaning is in progress as shown in FIG. 3 can be added to the display of the toilet in which the tablet terminal 200 that received the beacon data is installed.

  If the tablet terminal 200 has not received the beacon data (No in step S702), if the current state of the toilet in which the tablet terminal 200 is installed is being cleaned (Yes in step S714), the tablet terminal 200 is cleaned. The server 100 is notified of the cancellation of the internal state (step S716), and the display indicating that cleaning is in progress is cleared from the screen (step S718).

  Similarly, if the distance to the cleaning sensor is not within the preset distance range (No in step S708), the tablet terminal 200 similarly notifies the server 100 that the cleaning state is cancelled. (Step S716) The display indicating that cleaning is in progress is cleared from the screen (Step S718). As described above, when the tablet terminal 200 stops receiving beacon data from the state in which the toilet is being cleaned, or when the distance from the cleaning sensor is outside the set range, the cleaning is completed. It can be determined that the cleaning is in progress, and the cleaning state can be canceled.

  FIG. 8 shows the flow of the full room status notification process executed by the tablet terminal 200. The tablet terminal 200 can repeatedly execute the full room state notification process shown in FIG. 8 by executing the tablet program with the CPU provided in the terminal. The tablet terminal 200 requests display information including the usage status of each private room of the toilet from the server 100 (step S800), and receives display information including the usage status of each private room from the server 100 (step S802). Based on the received display information, the tablet terminal 200 performs screen display as shown in FIG. 3 (step S804), and if all the private rooms are not in use (No in step S806), the process ends.

  When all the private rooms are in use (Yes in Step S806), the toilet user is notified that the private room is full (Step S808), waits for a certain period of time (Step S810), and again from Step S800. Perform the process. As a method of notifying toilet users including those who are currently using the private room of the toilet and those who are going to use the private room, the tablet terminal 200 is used to make a sound and connected to the terminal wirelessly or by wire In other words, sound or light is emitted from a speaker or light provided near or in each private room. The toilet user can know that the private room of the toilet is full with sound (for example, voice guidance for notifying that the room is full) or light (for example, blinking of light, etc.) for notifying that the room is full.

  After notifying that the private room of the toilet is full, the tablet terminal 200 performs the process from step S800 after a certain time in the process of step S810, and the state of the private room of the toilet remains full. In some cases (Yes in step S806), a notification to that effect can be made again.

  FIG. 9 shows the flow of the cleaning time notification process executed by the server 100. The server 100 can repeatedly execute the cleaning time notification process shown in FIG. 9 by executing the server program with the CPU provided in the server. The server 100 receives the opening / closing data of the private room of the toilet from the tablet terminal 200 (step S900), acquires the current flag value from the received opening / closing data (step S902), and the server 100 further receives the opening / closing data received. The toilet private room is identified based on the tablet ID, floor ID, sensor ID, and the like included in the table, and the flag value of the past (opening / closing data received immediately before) of the identified private room is also acquired from the database (step S904). .

  If the value of the current flag is “closed” (Yes in step S906), the server 100 ends the process without doing anything. On the other hand, when the current flag value is “open” (No in step S906) and the past flag value is “closed” (Yes in step S908), the server 100 The usage time and the usage count are accumulated (step S910). In this case, the server 100 detects a change in the flag value from “open” to “closed” (that is, that the door of the private room is closed), counts the accumulated use time, and counts the accumulated use count. To do.

  Here, the cumulative usage time and the cumulative usage count are stored in a storage unit such as a database provided in the server 100. The accumulated use time and the accumulated use count are 0 as initial values, and as shown in FIG. 2, when the server 100 receives a cleaning completion notification or a response from the administrator terminal 210 from the cleaner terminal 220, the accumulated use time and the number of times of use are set to initial values. Reset.

  On the other hand, if the current flag value is “open” (No in step S906) and the past flag value is “open” (No in step S908), the server 100 Because the door is still open, the process is terminated without doing anything.

  Regarding the usage time and the number of times of use, the usage situation is analyzed in advance, threshold values for cleaning time (cumulative usage time, number of times of use, etc.) are set, and the threshold values are stored in the database of the server 100. When the accumulated use time and use count exceed a threshold value (for example, when either the use time or use count exceeds the threshold value, the server 100 sets both the use time and use count to the threshold value). 2) (Yes in step S912), as shown in FIG. 2, the administrator terminal 210 is notified that cleaning is necessary (step S914), and a cleaning completion notification is received from the cleaner terminal 220. If not (No in step S916), the process waits until a notification of cleaning completion is received. When the server 100 receives the cleaning completion notification from the cleaning company terminal 220 (Yes in step S916), the server 100 ends the process.

  The notification to the manager terminal 210 in step S914 can be displayed on the usage status display screen for the building manager displayed on the manager terminal 210 to indicate that cleaning is necessary. In addition, a mail can be sent to a preset mail address for notification. The building manager can notify the cleaning contractor terminal 220 of the cleaning request using the manager terminal 210 via the communication network. When the cleaning person who has received the notification cleans the toilet and completes the cleaning, he / she sets the cleaning of the private room or the toilet on the usage status screen for building cleaning displayed on the cleaning company terminal 220, The terminal 220 transmits a cleaning completion notification to the server 100 or the administrator terminal 210.

  The notification of completion of cleaning in step S916 may be a response from the administrator terminal 210 that has been notified that cleaning is necessary in step S914. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the administrator terminal 210 can return a response from the administrator terminal 210 to the server 100 when receiving a notification of completion of cleaning from the cleaning company terminal 220.

  If the accumulated usage time and usage count do not exceed the threshold (No in step S912), the server 100 stores the accumulated usage time and usage count of the toilet private room in the database (step S918).

  FIG. 10 shows a flow of a defect detection process for detecting a long-term use state of a toilet private room executed by the tablet terminal 200. The tablet terminal 200 can repeatedly execute the defect detection process shown in FIG. 10 by executing the tablet program with the CPU provided in the terminal. The defect detection process includes a process for detecting long-term use of a private room in a toilet and a process for detecting a private room that has not been used for a long time (shown in FIG. 11). In the process of detecting the use of a private room for a long time, notification of long-term use is given to a toilet user such as a building manager, a general user, or an employee manager. Thereby, the abnormality of the toilet user who is currently using the private room of a toilet can be detected.

  The tablet terminal 200 receives sensor data from the sensor 300 (step S1000), determines opening / closing of the door of the private room based on the sensor data (step S1002), and when the private room door is closed (Yes in step S1004), The usage time of the private room is accumulated (step S1006). On the other hand, if the private room door is open (NO in step S1004), the process ends without accumulating the usage time.

  When the usage time of the private room in the toilet exceeds the threshold (Yes in step S1008), the tablet terminal 200 notifies the server 100 that the use is for a long time (step S1010). Upon receiving the notification, the server 100 can notify the administrator terminal 210 of the building manager, the user terminal 230 of the manager, etc. that the specific private room has been used for a long time. Further, the server 100 can send an email to a preset email address, including information on the private room that has been notified.

  The usage time threshold value is obtained by analyzing the usage status of a private room in the toilet in advance and storing a threshold value for a time during which abnormal use of the private room is abnormal in the database of the server 100 in advance. The tablet terminal 200 can acquire a threshold value of time that makes abnormal use of a private room for a long time from the database of the server 100.

  If the usage time of the private room does not exceed the threshold value (No in step S1008), the process waits for a fixed time (step S1012), and the processing from step S1000 is performed again. If the door of the private room opens before the usage time of the private room exceeds the threshold (No in step S1004), the usage time is reset to 0, which is the initial value.

  FIG. 11 shows a flow of a defect detection process for detecting a long-time unused state of a toilet room executed by the tablet terminal 200. The tablet terminal 200 can repeatedly execute the defect detection process shown in FIG. 11 by executing the tablet program with the CPU provided in the terminal.

  The tablet terminal 200 receives sensor data from the sensor 300 (step S1100), determines opening / closing of the door of the private room based on the sensor data (step S1102), and if the private room door is open (Yes in step S1104), The unused time in the private room is accumulated (step S1106). On the other hand, if the private room door is closed (No in step S1104), the process is terminated without accumulating unused time.

  If the unused time of the private room in the toilet exceeds the threshold (Yes in step S1108), the tablet terminal 200 notifies the server 100 that it has not been used for a long time (step S1110). Upon receiving the notification, the server 100 can notify the administrator terminal 210 of the building manager, the user terminal 230 of the manager, etc. that the specific private room has not been used for a long time. Further, the server 100 can send an email to a preset email address, including information on the private room that has been notified.

  As the unused time threshold value, the usage status of the private room of the toilet is analyzed in advance, and the threshold value of the time when the unused time of the private room is abnormal is stored in the database of the server 100 in advance. The tablet terminal 200 can acquire the threshold value of the time that makes it abnormal to use a private room for a long time from the database of the server 100.

  If the unused time of the private room does not exceed the threshold value (No in step S1108), the process waits for a certain time (step S1112), and the processing from step S1100 is performed again. If the door of the private room is closed before the unused time of the private room exceeds the threshold value (No in step S1104), the unused time is reset to 0, which is an initial value.

  FIG. 12 shows the flow of sensor installation (new / replacement) processing executed by the server 100. The server 100 can execute the sensor installation (new / replacement) process shown in FIG. 12 by executing the server program with the CPU provided in the server. After the sensor 300 is newly installed on the door of the private room of the toilet by the worker and the transmission of the sensor data is started, the server 10 receives the sensor data from the newly installed sensor 300 via the tablet terminal 200. (Step S1200), the sensor ID included in the sensor data is collated with the sensor ID registered in the database (Step S1202).

  If the matching sensor ID is registered in the database (Yes in step S1204), it is determined that the sensor has already been registered, and the process ends without performing any processing. On the other hand, when the matching sensor ID is registered in the database (No in step S1204), the server 100 compares the barometric pressure data included in the sensor data with the barometric pressure data of other sensors stored in the database. The floor information of the nearest sensor is provisionally registered in the database in association with the sensor ID of the received sensor data (step S1206).

  Then, the server 100 notifies the administrator terminal 210 that provisional registration has been made (step S1208). Here, the notification to the administrator terminal 210 can be known by the system administrator via the administrator terminal 210 by displaying the notification on the screen or sending an email. If there is no problem in the contents of the notification, the system administrator can permit registration in the database, and can input an answer from the administrator terminal 210 to the server 100.

  An answer as to whether or not to officially register is received from the administrator terminal (step S1212), and if it is an answer that permits registration (yes in step S1212), it is registered in the database (step S1214) and registration is not permitted. If it is an answer (No in step S1212), the temporarily registered data is deleted (step S1216).
